Monsurat said that her husband had refused her to seek employment, but did not want to take up his responsibilities by catering for her and their six children. “When l married him, I thought he was a gentleman, but he is not. He does not perform his fatherly duties. The children are distributed to different family members. “I have been responsible for the children’s upkeep and my husband have stopped supporting me for a long time now,’’ she said. The respondent, Abubakar, 55, also told the court that he was fed up with the marriage because of his wife’s stubbornness. “ She does not respect me and takes laws into her hands. I made a container for her to sew clothes, but later realised that she had started selling herbal drugs. “She travels as far as Ghana and Togo to market her products and leaves home for weeks without telling me and leaves the children unattended to,’’ he said Abubakar said he had been taking care of the children and ‘wants the court to grant him their custody’. “I want the custody of my children and the court to fix a day their mother can see them. “We can arrange a meeting place because I do not want her to come to my house again”. The President of the Court, Mr P.A. Williams, adjourned the case to April 7 for judgment. (NAN)]]>
